Emerging Development Professionals Leadership Circle

Training Details

About

The Emerging Development Professionals Leadership Circle is a monthly peer group meeting of new development professionals (0-3 years of experience) from small nonprofit organizations, who will share challenges and learn about strategies for personal and organizational success. In an informal, roundtable format, you will have an opportunity to share your insights, gain practical solutions and alleviate any on-the-job isolation or stress that you might experience.

The peer circle will gather monthly at Foundation Center West in San Francisco on 5 Fridays from 9:30-11:00 am, beginning on February 2. Dates are as follows: February 2, March 2, April 6, May 4, and June 1, 2018. Participants must register before January 26, 2018. The $125 fee covers the full cost of the series. To maximize benefit, we require attendance for the entire series in order to create an effective learning cohort.
